It&#39;s exposure to air that makes cut apples go brown. I haven&#39;t tried it yet, I can&#39;t find a rubberband in my house to save my life. If you have trouble with browning you can always dip the cut sides of apple in a little juice - anything with vitamin C works (ascorbic acid).<br /><br />Chrisy - of course this wouldn&#39;t fit *inside* a bento box (it *would* fit in a Goodbyn though), but as a take-along snack it would be great! My kids always have a separate snack. If you have the ELB lunchbags to go with your ELB boxes you can carry the apple in there. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328636861375741176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017524307591200082.post-12803734270229901712010-09-09T08:05:09.465-05:002010-09-09T08:05:09.465-05:00Only one prob - how does one fit a whole round app...Only one prob - how does one fit a whole round apple into any of the bento-type lunch boxes?
